ive notice this before in my nova (16 8v spi engine running on a sr carb) but it wasnt until racing against a saxo vtr that i really had to take notice. sometimes the car would loose power completely! just kinda splutter and go no where.
last night against the vtr it seemed to happen after changing gear then it would die n splutter. could it be over fueling as the return line is blocked of and a fuel pressure regulator on it. what would the standard fuel pressure be? the regulator is set at 3.5.
also when idling it would have a very slight miss. thinking about trying to find a mate with a timing light and see if the dizzy would need adjusted aswell. also going to replace plus leads and cap asap
thanks
